goes a full day from home
When you can afford to fly
But it might as well be the moon
When you're as broke as I
Here I sit with my head in my hand
And watch the trains go by
Lord, they're helping in mission,
The night's here, got cold
there's nothing as welcome as sunshine
there's nothing as welcome
there's nothing no slower
there's nothing as fast as a train
Now, Frisco's a mighty rich town,
Yeah, they've got some buildings
that reach a mile into the sky
But no one can even afford the time
Here's a world full of people,
you ain't got much reason for living
Oh, but while you're alive,
well, you just gotta live with your pain
Unless you've been wrong for so long,
there's no one left forgiving
For the links to the chain
Now Frisco's a full day from home
And you can afford to fly
Oh, but it might as well be the moon
When you're as broke as I
